Brett Yormark with the money shot move in the CFP Revenue Talks..........
He wants a look-in on the contract to happen before the start of the 2028 season based on future realignment. Now what happens between now and then you ask? Well, the ACC contract with ESPN is only guaranteed until...

The B1G will move to a 15-team conference basketball tournament with the addition of the PAC-4. The bottom 3 teams will not participate. The conference is sticking to a 20-game regular season conference schedule...
Through the FSU Board Meeting today, it was revealed that ESPN only has a guaranteed contract with the ACC until 2027. They have the option to extend that contract through 2036.
This is FSU's out in a court of law. A GOR cannot be extended until the ESPN contract is extended. It is not...
Is this a common trend or something new?

When accounting for 2024 Realignment, the SEC and B1G dominate the list of the most watched regular season games this season.
Most appearances in the Top 50:

Lots of talking heads think FSU is going to leave the ACC, consequences be damned. Here is an interesting article on FSU's predicament:

I check Frank The Tank’s website from time to time hoping for a new realignment article. It’s been nearly a year since his last one. Back in the day, he posted all the time. I love reading the old articles. It’s like an archive on the history of realignment.
My favorite ones were where he...
I just realized there is no dedicated thread to all of the chaos happening in the PAC-12. ESPN 360 has a series of articles that show how scary the situation is in the PAC-12. I posted the older ones earlier on a Realignment thread that doesn't seem to exist anymore. Here is the entire series...
The AAU has added six universities to its research consortium:
Notre Dame
Miami
Arizona State
South Florida
George Washington
UC Riverside
The B1G has always coveted Notre Dame, but I wonder how much impact this has on either Miami or Arizona State getting into the B1G...

Interesting that the B1G adds the top program of all time (UCLA) even though basketball is not the reason UCLA was added.
One 2022 study looked at how potential conference realignment moves would impact conference TV ratings and it wasn’t pretty for the ACC. If Miami, FSU, and Clemson left the ACC, the conference would rank dead last amongst the power conferences and it would fall below even The American...
2024 will see 8 teams change conferences within the P5. Which team do you think will have the most success? For purposes of the poll, this includes all sports. If you want to give a different answer for a specific sport, say that in the comments below.

One thing that’s interesting about realignment:
The ACC has only taken from the original Big East.
The SEC has only taken from the Big 12.
The Big 12 has taken from the original Big East and G5.
The PAC 12 has taken from the Big 12 and G5.
The B1G has taken from everyone except the SEC...

Uphill battle for Mid-Major Conferences | News, Sports, Jobs - Observer Today
This is an interesting article. Lots of statistics in terms of who can make the tournament after the recent years of conference realignment.
This article says that the PAC-12 wants to have 9am (Pacific) start times for football, so their teams can be on TV at noon on the East Coast. While this could hurt attendance and tailgating, the article says the PAC-12 schools don't have big attendance or tailgating crowds to begin with. Only...

Gonzaga strikes a deal to get more out of NCAA Tournament success
Interesting article that discusses how the Mountain West Conference wanted Gonzaga as a member and how Gonzaga used that as leverage to get the West Coast Conference to give it more money from the tournament revenue it generates.
This is kinda sorta related to realignment............The Big Ten reported on revenue and spending for the 2017-2018 school year. Rutgers and Maryland are at the bottom of the list in terms of revenue (they do not yet receive equal shares from the conference). This was the first school year in...
